Darren Cooper played on Choo Choo Train's Briar Rose and High Eps. In December of 1989, Cooper was left with no band and a ton of original material, so with longtime pal Brad Elvis (Elvis Bros.) began to work in the Indi Rock band Three Hour Tour. Parasol Records puts out this Valentines Day single in 1991, so can expect the sound you can hear in this tunes. Two on the b side nearly linked.

The Family Cat was a british psychedelic garage pop band (with three guitarists!) founded in London in 1989. The band never quite capitalised on the momentum generated by the success of debut single "Tom Verlaine".
Influenced by the Beatles to Scott Walker to the Velvet Underground, their music was very melodic
but in spite of critical acclaim the band were unable to reach the heights of fame. One of the many bands of the time who sold more t-shirts than they did albums. This was their last single. If you like this scruffy Goldenbook, try Goldenboot.

Nic Dalton has been releasing records under various names since 1985, following the demise of his more punk styled Canberra band The Plunderers. Decided to form a more pop orientated outfit and roped in a number of musical friends from several continents, this way Godstar has always had something of a revolving line-up with Dalton often acting as the sole consistent member. Leading Godstar and Sneeze and running the Half a Cow label and his own bookstore, Dalton has done time as a member of the Lemonheads, Love Positions and Hummingbirds.
The Glasgow EP was recorded during a 1993 Lemonheads UK tour; with none of his regular cohorts in attendance, Dalton assigned the bass and drum parts to local Scottish studio musicians, but got singer/guitarist Eugene Kelly of Eugenius in to give the release that special Godstar flair, with cutting rock guitars and charming choruses.
